Nutrient Management in Seed Crop of Pea (Pisum sativum L.) through Organic, Inorganic and Integrated Approaches

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted with pea cv. Arkel at Research farm, College of Horticulture, Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh during Rabi season of 2007-08. Sixteen treatment combinations of organic, inorganic and integrated approaches including control (No NPK and Bioinoculants), were tested in randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that organic, inorganic and integrated nutrient management had significant effect on growth, yield and quality of pea seed. Application of 10t/ha FYM +45:75:60 kg/ha NPK + Rz+PSB culture recorded maximum values of growth attributes, yield attributes, yield and seed quality followed by 20t/ha FYM +30:75:40 kg/ha NPK + Rz+PSB culture. Maximum gross income and net income was received with application of 10t FYM/ha +45:75:60 kg/ha NPK + Rz+PSB culture.
